I think it more so means the attention you'll get when on drugs. I don't have a good example for euphoria bc I didn't watch it that closely and also agree nothing about rue makes me wanna touch a drugg. But I felt the same way about 13 reasons. Where it did affect me POSITIVELY. But it could also be twisted to show "look at how much attention you can/ may get if you kill yourself" And people that aren't well can respond to that negatively instead of seeing the real message. So...idk. I'm sure there may be a message like that in euphoria that I'm not seeing bc I'm not in that place to receive it negatively. Edit. Didn't realize how old your post was. I only just got this video recommended to me lol.

Doesn't exactly sound like a safe set where the women feel empowered to say no. When you add in the fact they're supposed to be portraying 16/17 year olds and how much he enjoys mixing violence into the mix, the writer/director is REALLY starting to come across like a creep more than anything.

Give me some scenes where Nate has to get his stomach pumped or Cassie does too much Molly and has a mild seizure or SOMETHING to show that drugs can hurt you even when don't view yourself as an addict. The scenes with Cassie & Maddy on the merry go round and Jules at the party mistaking a random girl for Rue both made me crave MDMA SOOOO bad. Like I literally had to remind myself it's dangerous to mix SSRIs and molly, otherwise I honestly might have reached out to my old dealer and seen if he had any. To act like this content can't be triggering to at risk kids just because it features a single addict plotline feels disingenuous or maybe out of touch to how those of us who actually *were* drawn to drugs process this media. Scenes of Rue having a bad time don't counteract how triggering I find the highly aesthetic scenes of super fun drug time. People at risk of addiction don't have healthy coping mechanisms. So putting triggering drug content in front of them *can* have a harmful impact, no matter how well intentioned and "anti-drug" the message was INTENDED to be (ironically you need to look no further than DARE to see this. They were constantly talking about how much drugs would ruin your life, and all it actually did was incite MORE drug use. Kids often don't respond to content in the way adults assume they would).

I have a lot of beef with DARE. They used to trick children into snitching on their own parents who used medicinal marijuana for various illnesses. These poor kids would end up in foster care and their parents in jail. Immediate family members were often not allowed to take in these kids unless the family had enough money for a lawyer.

Same. After seeing Laurie try and sex traffic her and inject whatever she did I was like NOPE never, that’s the scariest thing ever to me. She was unconscious, high, naked and in a drug lords house with random adult men and guns. There’s so many bad situations you can get in from doing drugs, and euphoria shows that. Lauries house is CRUSTY and literally looks like it smells like cat pee, cigarettes and beer vomit. Plus seeing rue withdrawling in the last ep was horrible. I couldn’t imagine making my family feel as bad as she did.

As someone who has gone through addiction and seen family members and friends go through it, I think the show is extremely educational and leaves no stone unturned. Yes it can be rather intense and maybe a little exaggerated, but the show goes there where a lot of others don’t. There’s absolutely nothing glorious about being a drug addict or having anxiety, or dealing with self image issues. I love the show and have grown very protective over the characters!

Idk, I'm a full grown adult, and the merry go round ecstasy scene made me crave molly, so I cant imagine how it came across to an audience even MORE susceptible to that than I am. I think the show is a mixed bag, but I don't think you get to film half your scenes as super cool and aesthetic and then claim it's not glamorizing it just because ONE character is consistently depicted as having a bad time. every kid is just gonna tell themselves it's going to be like the aesthetic times and they just need to pace themselves so they don't end up like Rue. It's always easy to convince yourself you won't be the girl who ends up addicted BEFORE you start doing them. I loved season 1, didn't really have a strong opinion on it's drug content as I feel like kids have both way worse and way better media (I don't think it's going to influence kids in either direction as much as most people seem to), but like...you cant tell me the scenes on the merry go round or Jules kissing that girl at that one party don't make you want to get high (assuming you have experience with drug use like I do).

Eh people actually are glamorizing it, just like they glamorized Skins back in the day. They’re hot, cool, have sex, do whatever they want. The struggles are there but so is the appeal. Their fashion is cool, sexy, party girl-chic. They go to school in outfits most people club in. They have lots of friends and an active social life. Let’s not pretend there aren’t impressionable teens out there that do think what they’re seeing is cool and glamorous. I’ve seen people talk about how they emulated Effy and Cassie from Skins back in the day (even though they had prominent struggles as well) and it basically gave them trauma. I think Shameless for example did a better job (at least in the early seasons) of depicting struggles without glamorizing them.

@@Sam-nz3vj That still doesn’t mean the show is glamorizing drug abuse or any of the character’s traumas. No one thinks about wanting to be Rue because of her trauma and drug abuse. You guys say “impressionable teens” but nobody above the age of 12 would even think to want go through what any of the characters go through just because the characters are “hot, cool, and have sex.” Teens probably think that the fashion and style is cool, yes, but they don’t associate that with the clear, detrimental traumas the characters go through and think to want to be exactly like those characters. The drug addict, Rue, is depicted as probably one of the most uncool and messed up characters of the entire show. Drugs are literally the downfall of Rue and that’s clearly evident in the entire show as seen in major scenes and plot-points with her character (like her fights with her family and girlfriend, social and mental detachment, and general sense of miserableness.)

As someone who was a teen addict and got clean at 22 ,I have almost 10 years clean now. I couldn’t get past the second episode. For me at least I think it’s glamorizing for a different reason, they were trying to relate so hard that it missed important things that would keep it grounded but to went so hard it turned into glamorization. This is why I just stopped watching, I felt grossed out Bc it was almost a parody of addiction that was trying to act serious. Like aww, see even good looking, rich people that do their makeup fancy and have sex all time can still be addicts. And now in real life we idolize their makeup looks from the show. I think most people in have gotten confused with idolizing and glamorizing. No one wants to be like the people in the show. It’s how they’re depicting them in the show that were idolizing and glamorizing the worst parts of being addict and putting it on a pretty person Bc if wasn’t we wouldnt feel as bad for them or try to relate Like we do in real life. that’s glamorizing the addiction part. Most people likely wouldn’t give two fucks if they were homeless and unattractive or just normal people, living normal lives but are also addicted. From what I know of the new season I know an important scene Zendaya is in seems to have been inspired by “The Basketball Diaries” just from watching a clip. That I can say is a teen addict story done well at least from my knowledge before I got clean.

Euphoria makes me not wanna take drugs lmaoo

How is anything that Rue went through glamorous!? This would make anyone run far far FAR away from drugs ! This show is the true, raw reality that everyone needs to see… thank you for that ! I love Euphoria ❤ Zendaya, you did a phenomenal job playing Rue !

I've never watched the show(mostly because I think it's way too sex heavy for characters that are supposed to be minors, and if anything that should be what it needs to get criticized on) but I can tell from the scenes people share online that it doesn't glamorize anything. If you watch a show that showcases the life destroying aftermath of addiction, and you decide to pursue drugs anyways, I can guarantee that you would have turned to drugs even without seeing it in a show.

I gotta disagree on the sex part. Cassie is shown in this light because that’s her role, she is seen as the “whore” who won’t settle down. The one everyone just wants for her body, hence the almost angelic background when she realizes that. She realizes most of the men she knew just liked her for her body. Hence, they gotta show her body. It’s. Kind of obvious really. Everything else is spot on.

(no, start of ep 4 doesn’t count) they don’t need to be naked in the first place, if they desperately need to show some scenes like nate and cassie having sex for the story, they don’t need to make it THAT GRAPHIC. why is sydney sweeney naked in almost every scene she gets? it seems like dan cares more about his weird fascination with her and the rest of the girls than writing an actually good show.

If good things were happening miraculously through the teens partying this would be a toxic show, but it literally shows their struggles, hardships, trauma that's super saddening to watch and shows alot of lessons to be learned so I think it teaches the opposite message than those on the opposed end are feeling

They emphasize the fuck out of the consequences of Rue doing drugs rather than her simply doing them

I absolutely love Euphoria. It was a show I could actually relate to. As a drug addict in recovery, I thought it was a great representation of abuse and addiction and how pain effects everyone.

i mean we had some scenes with rue being high that look like it's glamorized (the spinning hallway scene for an example) but i think these scenes are supposed to show the pleasure drugs can give to an addict but when you're back to reality you see drugs are not pleasing. we had rue overdosing, jules drinking a lot because she's worried about rue relapsing because of her, which becomes overwhelming the thing is this show never glamourized it, considering we saw how things turned out in the end

they're talking abt this instead of the over sexualizing teen characters in the show?

I’m a heroin and crack addict with 3 years of recovery and I hate Euphoria. It’s absolutely harmful and I don’t know any addicts who like it or think it’s well done (as far as addiction information and realism go). My sisters (13 & 14) actually asked me if I’m “sad that my life is boring now that I can’t so drugs” when I was horrified and questioned why they’d ask such a question, they explained that they heard on ‘TikTok’ that Euphoria was realistic and that to them that must mean addiction is fun because the show makes addiction look fun. Yeah. Tell me that’s not harmful. I dare ya.

Euphoria dosent glamorize drug addiction. After watching it you don't even feel like imitating it. The series portrays the pathetic condition very well.

Euphoria makes me wanna stay far away from any and all drugs

I get it that people go through something or the other. But, this show has literally EVERYTHING that can go wrong in a person's life.

the show is amazing, they dont only show the struggle of being an addict, but the struggle of the people around an addict too

I think euphoria does a really good job of showing teens what actual drug addiction is and how terrible it can be bc i feel like education systems just sugar coat it and they don’t give you the hard facts or teach you how to deal with it if you ever come to that point.

I don’t think any of these shows glamourizes this, this, and that. I just think it’s how mature the person is and how each person interprets it.

I LOVE euphoria as an adult. I won't lie though, if I was a parent with a teenager I wouldn't let them watch it. I don't think any media inherently glorifies anything. I think a teenage brain can't help but glorify things that make them feel. I remember watching the UK skins in my teens and (I would never admit it or even recognized it then) but did glorify unstable mental health and drug use. Teens don't have enough life experience to know who they are yet and that's okay. Their lives are tough enough without needing to experience the emotional rollercoaster of this show. As an adult I like the show cause it's a more intense reflection of teenage-hood- I can emotionally connect with that past part of myself with the wisdom of time on my side.

But so was 13 reasons why, and that also had a catastrophic effect on at-risk teenagers. Making content you KNOW is triggering and then targeting an audience who largely don't yet have the mental capacity to deal with triggering content in healthy ways is dangerous. Full stop.

Even though they're adults, I'd still say forcing really new actresses on their first big project to do more nude scenes than they're comfortable with is exploitative. The director basically cut Barbie Ferraira's role as much as he could at the very least minute cause the actress voiced dissatisfaction with some of the scenes with her character. Aka, retribution for speaking out. Not exactly a safe set that empowers women to feel like they can enforce their boundaries without being punished in their careers. Now the actress who plays Cassie has admitted she filmed way more nude scenes than she wanted to and actually asked for some to be cut was it was just super excessive, and the actor who plays McKayhad come out and said it's not remotely a collaborative process and director doesn't really take notes from the actors, that he has no idea what's going on with his character and he's nervous about even saying that cause he's still just got to HOPE he gets more scenes in season 3. Being writer/director carries a TON of power. The man is not wielding is remotely responsibly, and young people (prrimarily women's) careers are being harmed in the process. Im over the show until they clean up production and take the pervert in charge to task for how he's treating his crew.

When they were doing the DARE program at my school I distinctly remember sitting there and thinking "This stuff kinda sounds like fun" the DARE program actually made me want to try drugs.

Imagine having a movie or show focusing on very real issue and showing how it can affect people, and then having Tony the Tiger's poor cousin come and say you're glamorizing the issue.

It doesn't glamorize it, it faces the issue at hand about teens and drug use

for season two, you really see the effect and the complete downfall of rue with her addiction now.

I literally spent 7 years of my life severely addicted to pain killers. If anything, the show was hard to watch during the depictions of withdrawal because of how accurate they are… if anyone watches that and thinks “wow, drugs are cool” that’s DEFINITELY not euphoria’s fault.

Young kids can't be trusted to be able to handle watching triggering content and then utilize healthy coping mechanisms. Even a lot of adult addicts have to avoid content they find triggering. I'm not gonna applaud HBO for targeting kids with their tv show about teenagers that's filmed in just about the most triggering way humanely imaginable, even though I do think it absolutely has artistic merit for an adult audience. Maybe they should stop heavily targeting kids with their PR Campaigns and or setting their sex-dramas in high school if they don't want to have to deal with being held accountable for how their messaging could have untintentiinal effects (just like 13 reasons why triggered a huge wave of self harm and sucidie attempts despite technically being anti-suicide, or how the D.A.R.E. program caused increased drug use despite constantly fear mongering about how drugs will ruin your life) Kids don't respond to content in the way adults think they will. There's numerous studies into it, and I full anticipate to see this show studied a decade from now. And I'm not anticipating it's effects will be good. I'm a dang adult, and it makes me miss doing MDMA so bad, and I'm super high risk for having seizures now so I CANT be messing with it, but some of the scenes of this show make me crave is so badly. Add in the fact it presents it as a binary where Rue is the addict and everyone else largely engaged in drug use without repercussions, and I can't even imagine how triggering it is for with teenagers just starting to party. Literally all they had to do is set is in a college and not advertise to teenagers. But nah, they need to maximize the controversy to generate headlines, potential harm to a young audience be damned.

It depends on the child. Genuinely. Those young people clearly don't understand the media then. I watched shit like this when I was younger. I was suicidal, I hated myself, my mom was suicidal, my dad was abusing my mom. I was also 11. I'm a teenager and this show makes me never want to touch drugs. Rue's struggle is terrifying. Terrifying. Young people will always watch shows other media made for adults. It'll always happen. Some people won't understand it but you act like none of them will. Those people are romanticizing. Not the show. I've personally never seen an example of this but I am sure it happens. I am also sure those people are probably going through a lot mentally or at least have some sort of trauma. Romanticizing trauma and abuse typically comes from people who have gone through it themselves

My aunt is a past drug addict and she absolutely loves this show. Sometimes it’s good to show these things on tv shows because it’s shows how hard it can be to be a drug addict and struggling with lots of shit, especially a teenager on top of that. I watched my aunt go through it, it’s not easy at all and we tried supporting her in every way and YES she had multiple relapses but she’s a good person and she’s trying. That’s what I think Euphoria is trying to do, they are showing you how it really is being one. They aren’t glorifying it at all. They are showing you what it’s like.

as a teen euphoria enlightened me about the shit addiction puts your family through especially that one scene in season 2 if ykyk

“Just watched euphoria gonna go OD now 🤪” literally wtf

d.a.r.e. literally introduced me to drugs and nicotine and the like. euphoria does a better job at portraying the harmful nature of substances FAR better than d.a.r.e. EVER did, and to be honest probably ever will. i don’t have any faith in that organization and the way they’re ran.

Having seen addiction through my life, it doesn't glamorize it. It shows you what happens before you have the thought to try it. On any of the shows. It shows what happens when you go down that path. And a support system is also key, people who have your back and will support you in healing yourself.

Watching Euphoria literally saved me from relapsing.

I haven't watched season 2. But season 1 was so right about mental health and many teen issues. I feel like they opened the eyes of many adults and how different our adolescence was from the one teens nowadays who have a lot more pressure and society is still struggling to give everyone the space they deserve. As a non-addict, it only made me feel more empathetic toward addicts and abuse victims. The way many people use social media just fucked everything up, especially for teenagers...

In my opinion they are not glamorizing any of it because they show the consequences of all their actions. Such as how Cassie got pregnant, how rue overdosed, what drugs can do to a person in general, stealing alcohol / stealing, lying, ect. They are not glorifying it whatsoever because they show consequences over every bad thing they do. Many of the cast members have defended it not just Zendaya.

I also think euphoria isn’t a show for preteens. It’s a show for adults and mature teenagers who can emotionally process the difficult subjects shown

For real, this show is like an anti-drug PSA.

Watching this series has really opened my eyes to what some of our teens go through these days.

Setting boundaries, keeping us accountable for our actions and mostly an open dialogue
